Announcer: Welcome to the ​Ideas That Announcer: Welcome to the Ideas That Change the World podcast with Rabbi Manis Friedman, ​ ​ where we make sure your life will be changed for the better one idea at a time. Rabbi Friedman is the number one voice of clarity on moral and social issues. So what are we waiting for, let's go change the world. If you want to support Its Good to Know and the work of Rabbi Manis Friedman please visit it'sgoodtoknow.org/support to join the community. In this episode Rabbi Manis Friedman talks to Rabbi Shais Taub. Rabbi Friedman: Ideas that can change the world, well here's one to start with. What is the essence of morality? The essential statement of all morality is, I may be stronger than you, but I may not take advantage of that. I may be more informed than you, I may not take advantage of that. The basic statement of morality is that the rich may not abuse the poor, the strong may not abuse the weak and those who know may not abuse those who are ignorant. Do not place a stumbling block before the blind. So what it's saying is, in this world people are not equal. Some have all the advantages and all the benefits and some have none. Well, when you find yourself in a position of privilege, when you find yourself in a position of power, you may not use that against someone who doesn't have that power. That’s it. That's basic morality. To try to believe that all people are equal and that there is no difference between us almost sounds like a substitute for morality. It's almost like saying if I ever believed that I was stronger than you, I would beat you up. If I felt that I was more informed and I was more intelligent than you I would mislead you, I would lie to you, I would misinform you, I would play with your head. So since I don't want to do that, I have to convince myself that I don't know any more than you do. I'm not stronger than you. I'm not the fastest gun in the West because if I was, I would probably shoot you. Which means we're living in a moral society. Morality does not dictate our behavior. So what can change the world for the better is to go back to the principle of morality. The rich may not take advantage of the poor. To make everybody rich is not a moral solution even if it were realistic. How do you like that for an idea? Rabbi Shais: It's a very interesting idea because you know that you are speaking some bias. I think you're very influenced. Rabbi Manis: By privilege. Rabbi Shais: No, I wasn't thinking of that but you're speaking very Jewishly and you’re… Rabbi Manis: I’m sorry I didn't mean to do that. Rabbi Shais: Well, you’re taking for granted that your Jewish definition of morality is universal. Rabbi Manis: How about the biblical? Rabbi Shais: Yeah, well the Biblical is just euphemistic for Jewish. Rabbi Manis: Oh okay. Rabbi Shais: That’s why we don't want to say Jewish, we say biblical. Do you know that the basis for mystical anti-Semitism according to Hitler [Yiddish 4:12] was precisely your definition of morality? He writes about it in mind counts. Rabbi Manis: What did you say, the mystical definition? Rabbi Shais: Yeah, the mystical definition, right. There was the economic argument but there was also a mystical argument which is like this. First of all the Nazis weren't Christian, they were pagans. In fact, Hitler saw Christianity as a Trojan horse for Jewish ideas, it's just Judaism in disguise. And what did he believe? He believed in the power of nature. Pagans worship the power of nature. Then rabbi speaks about this by the way in the [Yiddish 4:55] in an open letter. The rabbi would write open letters periodically. One of them was always before Pesach or for the rabbi's birthday which is two days before Pesach. And there's a letter that speaks about why does the Torah say that the Exodus happened in chodesh ha-aviv, the month of the spring? And one of things the ​ ​ rabbi says is because the spring is the height of the pagan year. That’s when you see that nature is an unstoppable force because even though it goes dormant during the winter but everything revives in the spring, so Hashem specifically chose to devastate Egypt at a time when Paganism is most strong in the world at any rate. So if nature made me stronger than you, then it's only right, so it's a different way of defining morality. It's only moral that I use that strength. If nature gave me the ability to do something then it's only right to use that ability. That's the worship of nature. Nature gave me an ability and not only would it be cowardly to not act on it but it would be immoral from a pagan standpoint, from a nature worshipping standpoint. They say that Nietzsche would be horrified by Nazism but obviously a lot of the basis for this idea is the idea of Nietzsche about…which is also influenced by or influenced sort of the philosophy of Darwinist. Darwinism is a theory but it's also a cultural zeal. Survival of the fittest. So what's the moral implications of survival of the fittest is that it's moral to outdo the competition. At any rate what I'm saying is you're saying to me that morality is not to explain weaknesses. I'm saying that's a very Jewish definition of morality. There’s another definition of morality which is morality is precisely the exploitation of weaknesses so that strength, natural strength, can flourish. And then that worlds view might makes right is not sense cynically whatsoever. Might makes right is said like we say in Torah like we say [Yiddish 7:47]. It said no inflection with no hint of sarcasm. Might makes right. And if you don't believe, well trust your senses look in the world. If power was in doubt to a certain force or people or individual or tool then trust what you see. The world is telling you that this thing ought to prevail and whatever it can eliminate ought to be eliminated. What he said that? Rabbi Manis: Thin the heard. Rabbi Shais: Thin the heard? That’s right, that's right. It would be immoral to not allow the weak to be thinned out. You’re going to create a crisis and you're going to, you know, it's not pleasant. Nobody likes to do it. Rabbi Manis: Yeah, but somebody has got to. Rabbi Shais: Somebody's got to do it. If you don’t let the hunters shoot the dear then it causes disease. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Rabbi Manis: Yeah, well it's a strange use of the word morality. Like you are obligated to do that. Obligated. First of all, obligated by whom? And secondly… Rabbi Shais: By nature. Rabbi Manis: If survival of the fittest is a natural process just sit back and watch it happen. Rabbi Shais: No, but that's the thing that people are so perverse they can thwart nature. They could thwart nature. They could not allow nature to take its course. Rabbi Manis: So, human beings are above them. Rabbi Shais: Do you know what Judaism teaches? To thwart nature. Do not allow nature to take its course. Judaism puts into place all these rules that tell us don't let nature take its course. Rabbi Manis: Which is expressed in the statement be fruitful and multiply through the world and conquer it. Harness nature. I think I like the Jewish definition better. Rabbi Shais: I told you, you were biased. There's a famous scene in the movies in the 40s. Think of the 40s or 50s there's this African Queen. African Queen is a boat and the captain of the boat is Humphrey Bogart, and he's an alcoholic in this movie. There's this one scene where he's just finishing a bottle and he throws it out to the river, and there's this lady she's a missionary and she chastises him. This is Catherine Hartburn, she chastises him, Humphrey Bogart for drinking. And he says but it’s only natural, it's only human nature to drink. And she says Captain, human nature is what we were sent here to overcome. Rabbi Manis: She didn't chastise him for polluting the river or the ocean? Rabbi Shais: No, no. Rabbi Manis: That hadn’t come up yet. So, what is your idea to change the world? Rabbi Shais: I like your idea. Rabbi Manis: An idea that can make a big difference. Rabbi Shais: Well, I'll stick with your idea but I think that there's a prerequisite to that which is that in order to appreciate morality as you've just described it a person has to be able to think abstractly. You have to think in terms of ideas and not in terms of things. Because if you're locked into concrete thinking and you can only relate to things, then the world view that nature is to be preserved and to be worshiped really is very compelling.

  • The Extremist Origins of “Education and Sharing Day” Why Is the U.S
    The Extremist Origins of “Education and Sharing Day” Why is the U.S. Honoring a Racist Rabbi? National “Education and Sharing Day” was proclaimed in 1978 and has been honored by every U.S. President since. But the man it honors, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of Chabad, spread teachings that were profoundly racist. His views are held by an extremist portion of Israeli religious leaders and settlers and are used to justify violence against Palestinians. By Alison Weir Cover photograph: Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (left) with Rabbi Schneerson (right). Sharon was nicknamed the “Bulldozer” and the “Butcher of Beruit” for his brutal military campaigns that killed thousands. For a video about meetings between Sharon and Schneerson, go to iakn.us/rebbevid. The Extremist Origins of “Education and Sharing Day” Why is the U.S. Honoring a Racist Rabbi? This article was originally published by Counterpunch Magazine on April 7, 2014. For citations, see the embedded links in the article on the website and the Works Cited list at the end of this document. f things proceed normally, the President will proclaim a day in April “Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A.” Despite the innocuous name, this day honors the memory of a religious leader whose Ilesser-known teachings help fuel some of the most violent attacks against Palestinians by extremist Israeli settlers and soldiers. The leader being honored on this day is Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, charismatic head of a mystical/fundamentalist version of Judaism. Every year since 1978, a Presidential Proclamation, often accompanied by a Congressional Resolution (the 1990 one had 219 sponsors), has declared Schneerson’s birthday an official national day of observance.

  • Fantastyiccprogram-Calendar-2018
    a message from the factory ceO This year we have chosen as the theme for our Program Calendar, The FantastYICC Chocolate Factory . One might think that this is a colorful and charming theme; but in truth it is much more. It reflects the Jewish approach to teaching Torah. Every morning we begin the Shacharit service with blessings called Birkhot HaTorah. Among the blessings we declare l,ru , hrcs ,t ubhvkt ‘v tb crgvu – “ Please, Lord our God, make the words of Your Torah sweet in our mouths. ” The 18th century rabbinic thinker and prolific author, Yaakov Emden, noted that this is a pragmatic request. We pray that Torah will be sweet for everyone to enjoy, making it universally desirable among all Jews. A number of years ago, on a visit to our Shul, the President of the Los Angeles Jewish Federation, Jay Sanderson, remarked how impressed he was that children come over to me on Shabbat to receive lollipops. He exclaimed that encouraging children to come to their rabbi for something sweet will guarantee the future of our people. He further ruminated, “We also need lollipops for the adults so that they too will be excited by their Judaism.” It is our hope that in this Program Calendar, filled with exciting and stimulating programs, many of which are appearing for the first time, you will find the sweetness of Torah that will stimulate your thought and expand your Jewish education. It is our intent that our outstanding array of speakers, as well as all our diverse programs, will challenge your mind and engage your heart.

  • The Myth of Relaxation
    We acknowledge the financial support of the A publication of Chabad-Lubavitch, Toronto Government of Canada for our publishing activities SPRING 2012 VOL. 37 , NO. 1 (137 ) NISSAN 5772 The Myth of Relaxation By Shlomo Yaffe A recent Wall Street Journal article discussed the results of a fascinating study. People who work under high pressure conditions will often take time off to get away from it all, relax and "decompress"; this, common wisdom assumes, is the way to alleviate the accumulative effects of stress. Alas, the study's findings indicate that a cycle of intense stress followed by utter relaxation does nothing to counter the deleterious physical and mental health effects of chronic stress. The only thing that really helps is learning to respond in effective ways to stress-inducing situations as they arise. Relaxation is not what heals stress, but reshaping our day-to-day behavior in a way that makes for a less stressful life. Passover is a celebration of our capacity to attain freedom in "every generation" (as the Haggadah challenges us), to leave whichever "Egypt" our souls languish in. Yet when we think of freedom, we usually think in terms of being free of care, worry and the burdens of life -- in other words, freedom equals "relaxation". Passover seems to contradict this with its laws on banishing every crumb of leaven from every nook and cranny of our home, with the requirement to eat precise amounts of matzah and drink a certain measure of wine with each of the "four cups". Religiously speaking -- without eating and drinking the specified amounts, we have not really celebrated the Seder.

IMAGINE a place where every person feels at home. Imagine a place where children play, learn, and develop their identities; where young adults and seniors share their wisdom; where parents transmit the joys and beauty of our heritage to the next generation. IMAGINE a place where learning and laughter, sacred and secular, spiritual and physical, come together in an inviting atmosphere of warmth and belonging. YOU HAVE JUST IMAGINED THE CHABAD HOUSE. When creating the Chabad movement that you see today, over 3,000 Chabad centers in more than 65 countries, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of righteous memory, was motivated by his profound love for every Jew and all mankind. Chabad Houses all over the world follow the central teaching of our Torah, as was always promoted by the Lubavitcher Rebbe – that all Jews are really one soul. The word “Chabad” is a Hebrew acronym for Wisdom, Comprehension and Knowledge. The movement’s system of Jewish philosophy teaches understanding and recognition of the creator, the role and purpose of creation, and the importance and unique mission of each creature. Chabad is dedicated to providing every Jew regardless of background, philosophy or level of commitment, an open door environment for strengthening and enhancing Jewish family life. Chabad “When Jews from various locations serves individuals and families meet...they are not separate entities looking for an anchor and who happened to meet by chance. non-judgmental, accepting, Quite the contrary; they are one personalized Jewish experience.
